@diannetaggart After the first 2003 BC ( lumpectomy, nodes removed, chemo, radiation, Aromasin 5 years) I pretty much cleaned up my act-- no alcohol, ate healthy- nothing weird, exercised....BUT interestingly the year before my new BC ( other boob) I had a lot of stress- marriage problems. The whole " mega-stress" was true for me before the 2003 dx. Who knows, really.
